Repeat customer for years now. Takeout, dine-in...good food, good service, good conversation. Pizza, sandwiches, cold drinks. Hands down best seating is on the patio. You get dinner and a show, you never know who's going to pass by (one time we saw a cat and groundhog hanging out then watched the groundhog cross Columbia St). I recommend.

One of these best hidden gems in Evansville, odd considering been around for 100 yrs! EVERY sandwich i had is awesome, pizza is one of my top 3 in Evansville. (Double Decker is a MUST try). The lunch pizza with 3 toppings is best deal around. Drinks strong and cheap...almost too cheap! Service is excellent. They have staff that have been there over 30 years...that says something. Nicest people, hard working, and truly care about every person that comes in. LOCAL business that deserves your patronage. If you haven't been, or haven't been in a while, do yourself a favor and stop in. You can thank me later.

My wife and I have lived only minutes from Deerhead for many years but after several recommendations, we decided to try it. OMG, was the food amazing! We ordered "The Double Decker" pizza and we're stunned at how good it was. Lots of ingredients, great crust (and crispy edges), cheese was perfect, dough was perfect, and the sauce was great! Shazam! So much regret for not having tried this restaurant sooner.
